Adventures with Family

Much to everyone’s amazement, we all survived the parents’ first ever night away from the children. It helped that I had an Assistant Child Wrangler in Dear Daughter…

The dogs helped as well…

As soon as the parents arrived home, we scattered. Our favorite spot was people-free so we were able to stop there for our break between Boise and Montana.

Pozy was grateful — she loves water.

That drive is desolate and beautiful — and often feels like I am driving through a wildlife refuge.

Capella: Did you miss me?

Rosebud: Not really.

In addition to a busy work week — all remote thanks to those stoking the pandemic again — we needed to get home to welcome our visitor!

That is Claire with Merlin from the Moonshadows! He is spending a few days with us, and Capella is especially thrilled about this.

Hope your day has you leaping for joy.

Pozy is quite the water dog…

We are in Boise for a quick weekend to watch the kids while their parents had their first no-kids night away in almost five years! My daughter came to provide reinforcements. We are a good team — as evidenced by Lincoln’s breakfast: waffle and ice cream!

Happy Sunday to you.
